I was going to get shockWAVE anyway but your pics just make me want him more... i do think i'll paint his.. uh.. eye? yellow though :thumb

Yeah they seemed to have tried to be clever and when the light hits it it looks great (with the light piping) but otherwise its just too dark

Nice pix!

 

So is this going to be an ALTERNATOR ONLY release?

 

I see preorders for Hasbro Alternator Shockwave but I have still yet to see a Takara Binaltech preorder.

 

Any werd?

P.S. Just as a side note, I'm thrilled that all our old hero's and evil doers are back in the ring, but it's going to take some time adjusting to the new bodies. Most of them are really close to their actual G1 molds like Silverstreak and Hound. Jazz gets away with an RX8. But to see Shockwave as a Mazda too!? I thought this was going to be a line I had to collect all, but it's turning out to be a waste of money for some purchases. Oh well, just a thought...

Great Comparison Pics, I like red meister the Most. Shockwave is cool but I dont like the light purple parts they shoud be darker. You could put an Energon prowl head on him and make any easy custom Skids. Or put some decepticon stickers on him.

the pics are great, and i feel like getting the toy... just one little question: Shockwave's a decepticon, so why does his alternator toy have autobot insignias?

simple, it`s a prototype. the final release will probably have decepticon markings.

I explained that with my `translation` of his bio ;)

oh yer, something about joining the autobots and getting them to help him hunt down swindle so that shockwave could get his old body back...

 

is that really your own translation of the bio?

Yeah thats my tongue in check version, you may have guessed its not serious ;), he will be a decepticon, swindle and deadend came with autobot symbols, Ravage didnt as his was actually a sticker as opposed to the `heat stamping`or molding.

Now that I know for sure theres a Blue RX-8 Alternator :clap :thumb I'm dang sure gonna get it when it comes out. :clap :clap :bounce :bounce :bounce

I'm so friggin stoked about a Blue RX-8 Alternator made my friggin month. :D :D :D

There's been a blue RX-8 out for a while. But the one I looked at wasn't that dark of a blue, more of a cobalt blue, maybe a LITTLE brighter than the shade Alt Tracks is in. But this car looks great in it, and a similar color is also available on the 350z, which looks equally awesome.

I hope it comes out soon.
